Gunnison

(3,000-6,000cfs in the Black Canyon) Oscillating frequently to accommodate downstream water requirements without flooding the town of Delta, the Black Canyon will drop into fishable shape around June 1 and likely remain in the 800cfs-1,000cfs range for the entire summer. These are truly optimal fishing flows. We expect excellent conditions for the stonefly hatch in mid-June and spectacular hopper fishing in the lower canyon and below the North Fork confluence through July and potentially into early August.
